R7 SW 156.4 lbs.
R8 SW 160.2
R9 SW 157.8
R10 SW 156.8
R11 SW 155.6 Goal for this challenge = NO SELF-SABOTAGE!!! End weight: 155.6 -- very little Self-Sabotage!
Final Goal weight: maybe 98 lbs? -- not really sure (sm. boned & petite)
4'11", female, 55 years old
7/22 155.6 Yay!!! Stayed under in calories & did 50 push-ups (10 reg. floor, 10 bent knee, 30 wall) & 20 triceps dips.
7/23 154.4 I'm so happy! I just hope that I don't do the self-sabotage thing, again.
7/24 154.4 Yay!
7/25 155.8 Stressful day, yesterday. Yes, self-sabotage, but not as bad = Don't know why I HAD to have chocolate covered peanuts & honey roasted cashews. I'm calling it self-sabotage because -- it was a craving, but I still did it even knowing..................... actually went to a store & bought them. Not like they were sitting around.
7/26 155.8 Gave blood, yesterday. Was not planned & 1st time to do this. Didn't know that I would practically pass out & have to eat & drink additional calories... oh well. Could have been worse & I'm glad that I did it.
7/27 157.6 Well, this was not unexpected. I thought that I was even back up in the 160s. I had a frightening day, yesterday. At one point, I was even scared that I might be having a heart attack (my Mom's had 2 & she was thin!). Scary symptoms. I am thinking the blood donation did a big number on me. Had to eat more calories, but also could have made better choices. I'm okay...
7/28 157 A tad better. I am determined to NOT do the self-sabotage thing for this round... I am back on track today... I know it!
7/29 156.8
7/30 156.4
7/31 155.6
Oh, I'm so happy that I made my goal "No Self-Sabotage!" did do it a little, but then very quickly got back on track. I will make that my goal the next round. So all in all -- weight-wise, I did not lose ground during this round -- just stayed the same. I'm happy with that!

Thank you, Cyranda, for keeping this going! It really, REALLY helps!
Round 8/1: HW 274 LW 269.8 MidW = 271.9
Round 9/2: HW 269.4 LW 266.8 MidW=268.1
Round 10/3: HW 269 LW 266.4 MidW = 267.7
Goal for this week is to start exercising. I see the Dr. on the 25th and told myself that after that will will start regular exercise here in the house.
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22 265.6 -- A brand new number to start the challenge! First time seeing that five! A little surprised since we had ham for supper but sodium for the day was still between 1500 and 2300.
7/23 265.8 -- Staying with 265 even after ham one night and soy sauce the next. I really expected to hold onto some water. The scale is toying with me. ;-)
7/24 265.4 -- When I look up at the ranges for the two previous challenges, this make me really happy. Keeping within calorie goal is definitely working!
7/25 266 -- Up a touch but that's okay. I've been keeping under on calories but was a bit over on sodium. Seeing the dr. later today.
7/26 266.2 -- Today I need to start exercising. I promised myself I would start today. I've gotten good at staying within my calories. Let's see if I can do the same with exercising.
7/27 264.2 -- WHOOSH! -- a nice low-sodium day yesterday after several high days. I did an exercise video yesterday and feeling it today so expected a bit of water retention. We may see that tomorrow. Now off to recalculate TDEE for that new third digit!
7/28 265.4 -- Yesterday was the first off-diary over-calories day in more than two weeks. Take out Chinese + late night snacking. It's going to take a few days to overcome it but overcome it I shall! Back on track!
7/29 267.4 -- BLEAGH! I know it's just water weight from the Chinese blow out two days ago but geez. This, too, shall pass, quite literally. I got right back in the saddle yesterday and will remain!
7/30 265.8 -- That's better. It's been a little harder the last couple days to stay within calories. I don't know if that's because of the ate-everything-in-sight of a couple days ago or what. Hmmph. Anyway, eating within limits is the new normal and I'm sticking to it.

7/22 / 265 / weight checked at 9am
7/23 / 265.6 / Saturday is my eating out day, so i expected a little bump up. no worries!
7/24 / 266 / blah. water weight maybe? also weighed in a lot earlier than normal
7/25 / 264.6 / weigh in at more normal time, also, less eating crap. weekends are so difficult!
on a side note, i am glad a joined this thread as i now have more of a sense of responsibility to check in,
and to have done my best each check in.
7/26 / 264.6 / considering all the snacks i had yesterday, im glad this stayed the same. had a little too much bread tonight. hopefully it doesn't hurt me too badly tomorrow.
7/27 / 264.6 / forgot to post this, but i def remember it was the same
7/28 / 264.8 / busy day and a little stressed. also, weighed myself at a different time.
7/29 / 264.2 / just hanging in there. was pretty frustrated to see the scale go up, even a little, but trying so hard to stick to it.

Round 11 (R3 for me)
Original start weight 155
Current weight 134.6
Goal weight for R11 132.6
Ultimate goal weight 128
7/22 134.4 Tiny loss, better than nothing. No real plans this weekend, so that should help to keep things in check.
7/23 134.6 too much processed food today.. and no exercising, tho my toddler is sick so cuddles with her are more important today.
7/24 133.8 Nice! Went over my calories with dinner yesterday, got in a late walk to just get me under for the day. Happy to see a loss! Toddler still sick
7/25 134.4 Not sure why I have a gain today.. under calories yesterday and exercised. I do have a cold now, curtsey of my daughter, so I’ll blame it on that. Hope today goes better and I feel better.
7/26 135.2 Ok what the hell is going on?! Does being sick make you hold onto water or does taking Tylenol/Ibuprofen? I've been under calories both days and exercised and still gaining. Getting very frustrated. And I still feel like crap
7/27 no weigh in today
7/28 134.6 On my way back down, still not feeling 100% but no longer am taking any Ibuprofen, so hopefully the water retention is making its way out. I’ve stayed under my calorie goals & worked out each day. So, I know I’m doing it right, just holding onto some water somewhere. This weekend should be ok, of course the day before our last weigh in I have a loooong overdue date planned with the hubby. I have no plans to count calories or nitpick what I’m eating/drinking, I’m going to enjoy myself and whatever happens happens. I don’t foresee myself reaching my goal these 10 days, but that’s ok.. this sickness really sidelined me.. and the last 10 days I surpassed my goal, so I’ll call it even
7/29 133.2 FINALLY getting rid of all that garbage that I was holding onto due to this cold - which I still have ugh. I am relieved to see the number going back down tho!

K!! Let's go at this again for 10 days!!
SW 182.4 - in March
GW 150 - will reassess when I get there but at this point I think I'll maintain there for a while and work on my fitness progress.
7/21 - 156.4 - coming in from round 10
I would like to get below 155 in Round 11. I should be starting to slow things down as I get closer to my target. Daily weigh ins will definitely help to keep me in check and not stress the minor ups and downs as I get closer to where I plan to maintain for a while.
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22 - 155.4 - this is about where I was hoping to get at the end of last round...but I'll take it as a starting point for this one!!!
7/23 - 156.0 - tough work out yesterday, muscles are recuperating.
7/24 - 156.4 - ate at a deficit all weekend...worked out hard. Sore shoulder this morning and my rings are crazy tight so I'm water puffy. Re-hydrate and get those muscles repaired so I can see my progress on the scale.
7/25 - 156.0 - a little less water puffy this morning...I'm fully booked with a freelance client this week so fitting in work outs is going to be tough...double booked yesterday so got nothing in, not even a walk with the dog This week is going to be all about the calories I think...
7/26 - 154.8 - YES!! under 155!!!...not sure if this is from changing my scale batteries or the water I seemed to be releasing every half hour needing to pee yesterday. I'm definitely feeling less bloaty today. My calorie intake has been on point over the last week so I've earned it regardless!!
7/27 -153.8 - WHAAAT! - This is a Whoosh week! I was stuck at 156-7 for a while, maybe I needed this week of no extra exercise for my body to settle and heal a bit. I'm pretty active working in my client's showroom (like 12-14000 steps a day active) so it's not complete rest. Think I might need to add a snack in there though, to slow things down...I'm getting pretty close to my goal...or maybe I need to reassess that goal...hrmmmm.
7/28 - 153.4 - The back of my brain was thinking this 153 thing was a fluke...but apparently not! Got my "better than nothing" work out in yesterday on top of my 16000 steps. Editing to add....I bought a new top yesterday...SIZE SMALL!!! Non scale victory!!!
7/29 - 152.5 - on my mom's scale- Not sure this would be the same on my scale but WOWzers. Yesterday was crazy...and honestly I ate way less than I should have. I'm up in Cottage country staying with my parents and cousin's family visiting for the next 10 days...so this gives me a bit of a buffer for not having complete control over the menu and wanting to indulge a bit on my week off. This also pretty much gets me to the 30lb lost mark since I started in March. Pretty pleased to say the least !!

7/22 / 182. Weekends are hard.
7/23. 181.4. I was not expecting that but I'll take it. Not the best or worst day food-wise but my kids kept me on my feet at least. . Meal planning and grocery shopping today.
7/24. 180.4 !!!!!!!!!!
7/25 182.6. What? lol. I stayed within calories and worked out yesterday, so I guess I'm just holding on to some water. Some extra carbs too. Drinking lots of water today. Planning to lift weights tonight so I'll probably be holding on to more water tomorrow.
7/26 181.0. Trying to have a lower calorie day today and lots of water.
7/27 180.6... I had a good workout last night with sore muscles today, so I am happy with this. Can't wait to see the # drop under 180 though!
7/28 180.4. I had a sleep-refusing child last night, super tired! Taking it easy on the exercise today.
7/29 181.2. Meh. Yesterday wasn't a great day.

7/25 192.8 woohoo! Lost some of that water weight from the other day! I'm really trying to stick to it even when I see fluctuations on the scale!
7/26 192.6 Not sure I'll make it to my goal this round but as long as the scale keeps going down I'm good!
7/27 192.2 woohoo! I didn't drink enough water yesterday and I had too much sodium but I DID take the kiddos swimming so I tried to get a mini workout in while playing in the pool! My legs are sore today. So out of shape. Lol!
7/28 193 Does anyone else have trouble losing weight while it's that time of the month?! I usually gain a little water weight right before..but omg I still feel so bloated and I'm on day 3!
7/29 191.2. This is a whoosh for me! Yay!! I felt "lighter" this morning but didn't expect to see this number. Water weight can totally mask any loss..I'm proud of myself for sticking with it even when the scale isn't my friend.

7/23 - one more day of no scale! I am a bit nervous about stepping on it tomorrow
7/24 - 132 surprised the holy heck out of me. Just a little bit longer with no working out. Hopefully after Thursday
7/25 - 131.4 Not sure how this is happening without exercise. But I am being very cautious about what and HOW MUCH I eat. I'm setting my sites on exercise class Friday @ 8:30
7/26 - 131.2 Love the consistency
7/27 - 130.2 Not sure what's going on but I am not going to complain. Hopefully going back to the gym tomorrow

Round 8--On vacation
Round 9--SW 235.6 End 230.3 Weight loss/gain: -5.3 (vacation water weight)
Round 10--SW 230.3 EW 230.3 Weight loss/gain: 0
07/22--229.9 Goal for the next 10 days is to stay out of the 230's. Went on a hike today, we'll see what the scale says tomorrow.
07/23--228.8 Hopefully this will stick.
07/24--229.4 Totally surprised. Had a lot of salt yesterday and went over my calories by about 1000. Still under 230. It may catch up with me tomorrow, but happy with the small increase today.
07/25--228.8 Drank a lot of water yesterday to help counter with the excess salt I had the day before...I guess it helped. I'm making sure to drink a lot of water today as well.
07/26--227.9 I'm keeping up with the water drinking. Also, the fact that I haven't done any weightlifting this week also accounts for some of the larger than normal weight loss.
07/27--227.2
07/28--227.9 I was expecting this as I had big whoosh over the last couple of days. Still under 230 for this rounds I am happy, I think I can keep at it this weekend. I will be back to my weightlifting today, so we'll see how my body reacts to that tomorrow.
07/29--229.4 Well, my body reacted as expected. Total water retention from my great weightlifting session yesterday. I'm off for a hike!

I'm back for another round. It's so nice to come here and share success and frustration. I appreciate all of you and this journey we're on.
Started March 162.2
Finished round 10 on 7/21 at 144.6
Planning to lose 1.5 next 10 days. I'm adjusting my goal for the next 10 days. Figuring my age, metabolism, etc, losing 1.5# in 10 days means a daily calorie deficit of 500 calories which equals 1# a week.
Day / Weight / Comments
7/21 144.6
7/22 143.8 Doin' the whoosh!, and drank lots of lemon water to counteract very salty bacon. 50 on ellip. Happy about the drop.
7/23 143.6 sore throat, hard to exercise, hard to eat
7/24 143.2 Not taking credit as I'm pretty sure it's a result of being sick Mostly laying around. But getting better.
7/25 144.2 Well, darn. Up. Was hoping to be in the 143's. Well, I'm better, not over it yet, but should be ellipting today. That will help. Plus, I return to eating sensibly. Been a week since the gym. Depressing. I have to get myself there even if it is in the evening.
7/26 145 Half way thru and higher. Comfort ate yesterday. Today clean eating and hopefully some exercise for the first time in days. Hopefully. What goes on must come off. Right?
7/27 145 70 on ellip but nutty buddy and wine... it could be worse. OK, tonight, the gym. I need to continue my therapy and eat right: low carbs/high protein. Wish me luck at getting back on track.
7/28 145 At least I've held here for last few days. 70 on ellip again but food choices need improvement. I seem to have lost focus. Back to basics. I haven't been making protein drinks and it shows. I get hungry and make poor choices.
7/29 144.4 Made it to gym and it felt so good to be there. Ate mostly fruit and veggies. Gonna focus more on plant food today too. Going to community center to walk the track. Feel the need to change things up a bit instead of ellip all the time.

7/22: 193.4 waaaat?! Lol weight coming down fast all of a sudden. Probably because it's hella hot here in NYC, and I've been a lot of walking in addition to my active job. Still, wasn't expecting to see 93 this morning. Hopefully I can keep my focus.
7/23: 194.4 I knew it was too good to be true. Also, didnt get enough water yesterday. Only managed about 6 cups. But I'm still under 95 so I'll take that lol
7/24: 193.6
7/25: 193.0☺ I have a few days off, so I'm going to try staying active, even though I want to rest.
7/26: 193.4 late instant ramen craving that I couldn't deny. Also, didn't get much walking in since I was stuck doing an online training for work, but lots of water and back on the grind tomorrow.
7/27: 193.6
7/28: 195.4 really? Took my Mom to Max Brenner for dinner last night, but I did some walking so I was NOT expecting the results to be this bad....need to put in a lot of work to undo this
7/29: 194.4 that's more reasonable. Got my steps in and drank a decent amount of water yesterday.
7/30: 193.4 I ate well under calories only managed about 1300cals, not on purpose, and not because I think it's good, but I just ran out of time during the day. Glad I didn't stay up and end up hungry enough to eat late at night.2 -
I'll join in. This is my first round. I'm a 47 yo female, 5'6.
Started at 193 pounds in July 2016
Lost to 137 pounds by April 2017.
I'd like to lose some of the almost 10 pounds I have gained back since April (too many vacation meals and drinks!)
Goal weight: 135
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22/ 146.4 / O.k., I gained more than I thought!
7/23 / 145.0 / This time I weighed first thing in the morning. Stuck to under 1200 calories yesterday.
7/24 / 142.6 / Wow! Looks like it must have been water weight from all the salty food and drink over the last 2-3 weeks. I will keep drinking water and stay under 1200 calories. Less than 7 pounds to go.
7/25 / 142.7 / Under 1200 calories yesterday. I want to add exercise, but afraid I will overeat due to increased hunger.
7/26 / 141.6 / Did I really have 5 pounds of water weight?? Now how long to lose the last 5 or so pounds?
7/27 / 142.4 / 30 min on elliptical/ ate back about 300 calories
7/28 / 144.2 / Went to L.A. for the day with a friend and our daughter. Lunch at American Girl Cafe + Dinner at Cheesecake Factory + feeling like a glass of wine with dinner = going over by at least 1050 calories, likely more even by ordering chicken sandwich and off of the Skinnylicious menu. I sometimes miss eating whatever I want without worrying about it. I even counted the walking as exercise. Oh well, it was a really fun day!
7/29 / 144.4 / Stayed under 1200 yesterday. Hope this drops by tomorrow. Will drink more water and jump on elliptical today.
7/30 /144.8 / Exercised, BUT had 2 glasses of wine, had dinner at a relatives and overdid it by 600 + calories. I need to get more serious about this! I know it works IF I stay under calories EVERY day. I think it's harder when I have a smaller amount to lose. I will do better next round. It will be easier when I am back to work (teacher) next week and have a more regular routine. Also, I need to stop the mentality that once I've gone over calories that the day is shot. Then I continue to eat more. That is not helping me achieve my goals.

Round 8--On vacation
Round 9--SW 235.6 End 230.3 Weight loss/gain: -5.3 (vacation water weight)
Round 10--SW 230.3 EW 230.3 Weight loss/gain: 0
07/22--229.9 Goal for the next 10 days is to stay out of the 230's. Went on a hike today, we'll see what the scale says tomorrow.
07/23--228.8 Hopefully this will stick.
07/24--229.4 Totally surprised. Had a lot of salt yesterday and went over my calories by about 1000. Still under 230. It may catch up with me tomorrow, but happy with the small increase today.
07/25--228.8 Drank a lot of water yesterday to help counter with the excess salt I had the day before...I guess it helped. I'm making sure to drink a lot of water today as well.
07/26--227.9 I'm keeping up with the water drinking. Also, the fact that I haven't done any weightlifting this week also accounts for some of the larger than normal weight loss.
07/27--227.2
07/28--227.9 I was expecting this as I had big whoosh over the last couple of days. Still under 230 for this rounds I am happy, I think I can keep at it this weekend. I will be back to my weightlifting today, so we'll see how my body reacts to that tomorrow.
07/29--229.4 Well, my body reacted as expected. Total water retention from my great weightlifting session yesterday. I'm off for a hike!
07/30--228.8 Water loss. Rest day today. Still under the 230's, hopefully I can hold on to it until the end of the round.
07/31--5 -
End of Round 10: 163.0
Goal for Round 11: 161.0
7/22: 162.8 - right direction.
7/23: 163.4 - weekends have been hard this month.
7/24: 163.2 - under calories, but not enough water or sleep. TOM is also here.
7/25: 162.8 - feel bloated so I was surprised at this number. weight is moving slow.
7/26: 163.8 - TOM is still here. still feel bloated. this 10 days isn't going as expected, but I'm content with it.
7/27: 163.6 - can't tell what's going on with my weight. might just be TOM.
7/28: 164.4 - not surprised at this. feel very 'heavy'. Idk what's up besides TOM is just leaving and I've been over my carbs almost everyday this week. been under calories and sodium so I know that's not it. just haven't been a great week for weight loss, but I'm not discouraged.
7/29: 163.6 - still stuck in the 3's it appears. will be glad to move past these numbers.
7/30: 163.8 - not going to make my goal this round but onward and upwards (or downwards)

7/22 / 182. Weekends are hard.
7/23. 181.4. I was not expecting that but I'll take it. Not the best or worst day food-wise but my kids kept me on my feet at least. . Meal planning and grocery shopping today.
7/24. 180.4 !!!!!!!!!!
7/25 182.6. What? lol. I stayed within calories and worked out yesterday, so I guess I'm just holding on to some water. Some extra carbs too. Drinking lots of water today. Planning to lift weights tonight so I'll probably be holding on to more water tomorrow.
7/26 181.0. Trying to have a lower calorie day today and lots of water.
7/27 180.6... I had a good workout last night with sore muscles today, so I am happy with this. Can't wait to see the # drop under 180 though!
7/28 180.4. I had a sleep-refusing child last night, super tired! Taking it easy on the exercise today.
7/29 181.2. Meh. Yesterday wasn't a great day.
7/30 182. Oh neat, right back to my beginning weight.5 -

Round 11: (Round 4 for me. Female/aged 71, weight in lbs)
SW: 227; Lowest weight 22/6/2017: 162; Final goal weight: 147
Round 8: lowest, 162.0; highest, 169.0; mean, 165.5 (5 day holiday created overage)
Round 9: lowest, 164.8; highest, 169.0; mean, 166.8
Round 10: lowest, 166.0; highest, 168.0; mean 167.7 (166 on 4 days! I know I can improve on that!)
Round 11: lowest, 164; highest, 166.8; mean, 165.5
22/07/2017: 166.8. -0.6 on yesterday. Today's focus is to balance macros/micros, hydrate, 10,000+ steps, 20 strength, 20 flex.
23/07/2017: 166.6. Another -0.2. Family day today, so I got my strength and flex in early. Goals: balanced macro/micros, hydrate, 10,000+ steps, eat moderately this afternoon at my daughter's house. It's not easy to refuse when my grandson has baked for my visit, so I keep calories in reserve.
24/07/2017: 165. Wow! Didn't expect that whoosh! Had some baked goods and chocolate, but stayed under calories and stayed hydrated.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through to balance macros/micros; hydrate; 10,000+ steps, 20 strength, 20 flex.
25/07/2017: 165.6. Normal fluctuation. Today is my wedding anniversary, so I'm expecting a little more 'fluctuation' tomorrow morning!
26/07/2017: 166.5. And there it is! Lol! I enjoyed a marvellous day. Cause and effect! High sodium from restaurant meal, so holding water.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through to balance macros/micros; hydrate; 20 strength, 20 flex ✅; 10,000+ steps. ✅
27/07/2017: 165.6. Now to stay on track. Pre-logging food (including snacks) helps plan meals. I tweak amounts when I weigh the cooked food.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through to balance macros/micros; hydrate; 20 strength ✅; 20 flex ✅; 10,000+ steps ✅
28/07/2017: 165.8. Almost steady! Stiff muscles from all the leg work I have been doing, and my knee was playing up again yesterday, so I eased off a bit today on the lower body work. I think it was the Dynamic Yoga that did it. I will do a gentle Tai Chi session today.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 20 strength ✅; 20 flex ✅; 10,000+ steps ✅
29/07/2017: 164.4. WOW! Another mini Whoosh! Sticking to the plan pays off. Let's hope I can sustain this until Monday.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 20 strength ✅; 20 flex ✅; 10,000+ steps ✅
30/07/2017: 164. Nice and steady does it. All my stats are dropping, so I'm happy with that. One more day of this round. Fingers crossed.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 20 strength ✅; 15 flex ✅; 10,000+ steps
31/07/2017: 164.2. I'm happy with that. -2.8 lbs this round, and all my stats are reducing.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 20 strength ✅; 10 flex ✅; 6,000+ steps. (I need to rest my knee for a few days. I have an inflamed minor meniscus on my left knee.)
Particularly happy with the downward trend in my highest weight each round. The scale is not an exact tool, and weight fluctuates day to day because of so many factors such as water retention, muscle building etc. A steady downward trend is a good indicator. I measured myself this morning and I have lost inches as well as weight.
Have a great day!!!8 -

GW for this Round: 186 (I'll be back to the weight I was when my husband first met me 10 years ago.)
Ultimate GW: 125 lbs.
7/22 187: Walked quite a bit yesterday. I actually did more than my daily steps. I did decrease my calories a little throughout the day because I had a planned evening out with 5 of my friends and former colleagues at Applebees. I wanted to make sure that I could enjoy my dinner without worrying too much about my calorie consumption. I thought about canceling even though it was in the making for about a month due to family circumstances, but my husband insisted that I go. I am glad I did. I needed that mental break. I did enjoy it, and I stuck to my diet with steak, steamed broccoli, and water. Yes, it's red meat, and no, I don't eat it often. I stick to white, but red meat is good for my HDL, and I have to boost that up. I didn't eat any breads, even though broccoli does have carbs in it, and I stuck to water. I even skipped dessert and appetizers.
7/23 186.2 I denied myself pizza and instead made a quesadilla. Yes, it was still carbs AND bread, but since it's a tortilla, it was less. I even made a low carb dessert, and it was awesome! First time in a month and a half that I allowed myself something sweet, but I did it the right way.
7/24 186 ✔ I was really hungry yesterday, and I felt that way pretty much the entire day. It was so hard not to go and scrounge around in the fridge for more and more food or even to have a late night snack. I hope this weight holds. It was my goal for this challenge, and I'm now back to my premarital weight.
7/25 185.8 I started the 7-day walking plan yesterday, and I increased my steps by 500 from the goal Samsung Health had set for me. My legs are killing me today! I surpassed by goal by 1,500 steps. I'm usually out biking, but I wanted to shake it up. My body was getting adjusted to it, and when that happens, it's hard to keep losing (from what I read). So, here I am...trying something new for the week.
7/26 185.4 I put in my full 40 minutes for my walking plan yesterday, drank 48 oz. of water, and put in an extra 2500 steps to boot. I also tried out a quick and easy new recipe called "nice" cream on my kids to see if they enjoyed the ice cream that was on so good for your body instead of your booty. It was a hit!
7/27 184.6 This is not a number I expected to see this morning. It was a date night with my hubby, but I stuck to my diet at the restaurant. I completed my 3rd day of the walking plan, and I went over my steps by 2000+.
7/28 184.4 Not much of a loss, but I've made great progress this week. I'll definitely take it! I did my 4th day of my walking plan and put in 10,000 steps. Stayed under my calorie intake for the day too.
7/29 184.8 I'm up a little. I'm not surprised either because I practically slept through the entire night, and I usually don't eat past 6, but it was around 8 when I was able to have dinner. Granted, I ate a salad, but it was late. I completed my day 5 walk, and I had over 13g steps in. It was a busy, busy day preparing my kids to go back to school Monday.
7/30 184 lbs Woo Hoo!!!! I needed that last little bit to reach an 18lb loss! This may be TMI, but I've lost 2 bra sizes during this journey so far. I am thrilled to no end. They made my back hurt.
7/31 185.4 lbs. Wowsa! What a jump! Idk what happened besides Aunt Flo being here to visit. Im still under my goal weight for this round with a loss of 2.2 lbs. I'll take it.

Rd 11 SW 200.2
GW for this round... anything in the 1's
7/22 - 199.2 just sayin'
7/23 - 200.4 had too much salt, was a bit disappointed this morning because once you see that 1 it's hard to look back, however briefly.
7/24 - 199.2
7/25 - 197.8 wow, 198 was my target for July.. I wonder if I can just annihilate it!
7/26 - 197.2 not certain how to process this quick drop off a plateau, after so long being stuck in the 200's
7/27 - 197.2
7/28 - 196.4
7/29 - 196 this is turning out to be an awesome round!
7/30 - 196.6 went to the shore and walked 20k steps, ate well so im attributing this little upswing to water.. I got this.
7/31- 196.8 I'm obviously retaining water but overall this has been an amazing 10 days with a loss of 3.4 pounds! on to round 12!7 -
Average Weight Round 10: 133.06
Starting Weight: 132.4
Goal Weight: 131
7/22: 133.2
Ate healthy yesterday. Went to a concert with my husband and a group of friends and we walked around downtown. Didn't drink. Gained weight. Oh well.
7/23: 133
Didn't eat much yesterday because I was stressed and constipated. Feeling better today. Going to sleep over at a girl friend's house tonight so I'm sure we will eat junk food. I'll try to keep it to a minimum though.
7/24: Went to a Friend's House, No Scale
7/25: 133
After a sleepover with a friend, I did not gain any weight. I'll count that as a win. Going on vacation tomorrow. Fortunately it's a walkable city. Unfortunately everyone going (besides my husband and I) is obese. Won't have a scale to keep me accountable.
7/26: 133
Yesterday I did 15 mins of HIIT. While on vacation, I plan on doing at least 30 mins of swimming or 15 mins of HIIT every day. We are in the roadster so we weren't able to pack a lot (i.e. I had to choose between 2 bathing suits and 2 sports bras) meaning most of my workouts will be water related.
7/27: No Scale
7/28 No Scale
7/29: No Scale
7/30: 135.2
Sabotaged myself on vacation. 4 days of bad eating habits. I can't spend time with unhealthy people. Even though I was active it wasn't enough. This is why it is important for me to weigh myself everyday. I'm really trying hard to not beat myself up.
7/31: 134.8
Feeling better. Ate much healthier than I have been for the past few days. Feeling less bloated, etc. I feel like I'm ending on a positive note even though I've gained weight.7 -
Round 11
This is my second round and I’m so excited to start. I lost 3.2 pounds in round 10. I’m going to try for 3 pounds again. I am a serial weigher, so this helps me see the overall picture.

Day / Weight / Comments
7/22: 200. What the what? Not sure how this happened (I was 201.4) yesterday. Let’s expect some to come back tomorrow. LOL
7/23: 199.6 – Woo! I’m so happy to see this. #1 I had a pretty huge loss yesterday (1.4) so expected some to fluctuate back up and #2 I traveled six hours in the car plus trying to stick to diet plan on the fly. And I also indulged in some burger/fries for lunch. Went a tad over on cals. I guess all this measuring and tracking and will power is paying off!
7/24: 200.6 – And there it is. I’ve been expecting this. At least I can say it’s not because I “cheated” or “fell off the wagon”. I’m sticking to it and will keep sticking to it. Still a net loss!
7/25: 200.4 – Meh.
7/26: 200.2 – slow and steady wins the race. Company meeting with pizza, which I plan to forgo and eat my usual turkey sandwich with fruit and yogurt.
7/27: 200 – ugh.
7/28: 199.6 – Hopefully I don’t undo my progress this weekend. This didn’t come off without a fight.
7/29 – Girls weekend, no scale/internet access
7/30
7/31 – 203, girls weekend damage. Hopefully most will come back off easily. Regardless, I’m back on track and being accountable on here helps with that!

7/26 - 165.4 - LOL...I knew I wasn't going to get past 165 altogether. I'm already under my goal for this round though, so I'm good. There's a bacon wrapped hot dog with my name on it at the ballpark tonight, so gotta get some extra exercise in today.
7/27 - 165 - Lots of water and extra exercise allowed that bacon wrapped hotdog and still a small loss. Yay!
7/28 - 165.2 - Totally swamped at work yesterday so didn't move much and didn't pack lunch or dinner so picked up semi-healthy takeout.
7/29 - 165.6 -
7/30 - 165.6 - Ate out and had a rare froyo treat last night. Lots of water and exercise today to make goal this round.
7/31 - 165.2 - Yay! Under goal and ready for round 12!8 -
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22 / 182. Weekends are hard.
7/23. 181.4. I was not expecting that but I'll take it. Not the best or worst day food-wise but my kids kept me on my feet at least. . Meal planning and grocery shopping today.
7/24. 180.4 !!!!!!!!!!
7/25 182.6. What? lol. I stayed within calories and worked out yesterday, so I guess I'm just holding on to some water. Some extra carbs too. Drinking lots of water today. Planning to lift weights tonight so I'll probably be holding on to more water tomorrow.
7/26 181.0. Trying to have a lower calorie day today and lots of water.
7/27 180.6... I had a good workout last night with sore muscles today, so I am happy with this. Can't wait to see the # drop under 180 though!
7/28 180.4. I had a sleep-refusing child last night, super tired! Taking it easy on the exercise today.
7/29 181.2. Meh. Yesterday wasn't a great day.
7/30 182. Oh neat, right back to my beginning weight.
7/31 181.4.6 -
Hey I'm back. Start weight 77kg and end weight id like 76.9 kg. I'm going to try a bit harder this round. Like exercise and drink more water and enjoy the food I'm eating - mindfulness. There's other stuff in my life at the moment (like most people) so I'm going to really try and focus on the good foods and maybe enjoy a wine. And the water I'm drinking. Have fun - we've got this (again)
7/25 77kg
7/26 77.6 kg (it's going to be a challenge!)
7/27 77.5 kg
7/28 78.3 kg
7/29 78 kg
7/30 78 kg
7/31 79 kg
Well I totally went the wrong way. I ate too much bread and unsatisfying food and now I'm two kgs heavier than I wanted. I'm actually the heaviest I've ever been even pregnant. And I feel aweful to. I thought I had hit rock bottom, weight wise, a few weeks ago but no, I'm here now at the bottom. The only way is up. See you in round twelve!

Thank you, Cyranda, for keeping this going! It really, REALLY helps!
Round 8/1: HW 274 LW 269.8 MidW = 271.9
Round 9/2: HW 269.4 LW 266.8 MidW=268.1
Round 10/3: HW 269 LW 266.4 MidW = 267.7
Goal for this week is to start exercising. I see the Dr. on the 25th and told myself that after that will will start regular exercise here in the house.
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22 265.6 -- A brand new number to start the challenge! First time seeing that five! A little surprised since we had ham for supper but sodium for the day was still between 1500 and 2300.
7/23 265.8 -- Staying with 265 even after ham one night and soy sauce the next. I really expected to hold onto some water. The scale is toying with me. ;-)
7/24 265.4 -- When I look up at the ranges for the two previous challenges, this make me really happy. Keeping within calorie goal is definitely working!
7/25 266 -- Up a touch but that's okay. I've been keeping under on calories but was a bit over on sodium. Seeing the dr. later today.
7/26 266.2 -- Today I need to start exercising. I promised myself I would start today. I've gotten good at staying within my calories. Let's see if I can do the same with exercising.
7/27 264.2 -- WHOOSH! -- a nice low-sodium day yesterday after several high days. I did an exercise video yesterday and feeling it today so expected a bit of water retention. We may see that tomorrow. Now off to recalculate TDEE for that new third digit!
7/28 265.4 -- Yesterday was the first off-diary over-calories day in more than two weeks. Take out Chinese + late night snacking. It's going to take a few days to overcome it but overcome it I shall! Back on track!
7/29 267.4 -- BLEAGH! I know it's just water weight from the Chinese blow out two days ago but geez. This, too, shall pass, quite literally. I got right back in the saddle yesterday and will remain!
7/30 265.8 -- That's better. It's been a little harder the last couple days to stay within calories. I don't know if that's because of the ate-everything-in-sight of a couple days ago or what. Hmmph. Anyway, eating within limits is the new normal and I'm sticking to it.
7/31266.2 -- Up a skoche from yesterday for reasons I cannot know.
Anyway, my "mid-weight" for this round down again! (267.4+264.2)/2=265.8 and I'll take that as an almost 2-pound loss despite day 10 of this round being more than day 1. Looking at things this way is really much more satisfying than looking at the bounces of a single day and panicking every time the scale goes up.7 -
R10: 251.2
GR11: 248
Correction...weighed in 2 more times again and this number kept popping up this morning so I guess this is the real number for today!!!
7/22: 250.8
7/23: 250.8 (not a loss but at least its not a gain)
7/24: 249.4 (Yay!!! I reached 25lbs lost!!!)
7/25: 249.6 (maybe I should weigh myself before I do strength training?)
7/26: 250 (I don't understand. I ate very low in cals...weighed myself before working out...even ate low in carbs and sodium...so why is there a gain? I am sore from leg day from the day before so maybe its because my muscles are tense?...idk that's just weird tho. There better be a big whoosh coming.)
7/27: 249.4 (not a big whoosh but I'll take it)
7/28: 249.4
7/29: 246.6 (huh? So you telling me I go 3 days of eating very clean, low carb, low fat low sodium low sugar and no change and then I decide to eat high carb high fat high sodium high sugar and I lose...like wtf? I don't even know if I stayed within my deficit but obviously I guess I did. I guess that was the whoosh I was looking for.)
7/30: 246.6
7/31: 246.4 (Yippy! 28lbs lost!!!)
Well off to the next round! Hopefully I will be closer to the low 240s by the end of the next round!8 -
K!! Let's go at this again for 10 days!!
SW 182.4 - in March
GW 150 - will reassess when I get there but at this point I think I'll maintain there for a while and work on my fitness progress.
7/21 - 156.4 - coming in from round 10
I would like to get below 155 in Round 11. I should be starting to slow things down as I get closer to my target. Daily weigh ins will definitely help to keep me in check and not stress the minor ups and downs as I get closer to where I plan to maintain for a while.
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22 - 155.4 - this is about where I was hoping to get at the end of last round...but I'll take it as a starting point for this one!!!
7/23 - 156.0 - tough work out yesterday, muscles are recuperating.
7/24 - 156.4 - ate at a deficit all weekend...worked out hard. Sore shoulder this morning and my rings are crazy tight so I'm water puffy. Re-hydrate and get those muscles repaired so I can see my progress on the scale.
7/25 - 156.0 - a little less water puffy this morning...I'm fully booked with a freelance client this week so fitting in work outs is going to be tough...double booked yesterday so got nothing in, not even a walk with the dog This week is going to be all about the calories I think...
7/26 - 154.8 - YES!! under 155!!!...not sure if this is from changing my scale batteries or the water I seemed to be releasing every half hour needing to pee yesterday. I'm definitely feeling less bloaty today. My calorie intake has been on point over the last week so I've earned it regardless!!
7/27 -153.8 - WHAAAT! - This is a Whoosh week! I was stuck at 156-7 for a while, maybe I needed this week of no extra exercise for my body to settle and heal a bit. I'm pretty active working in my client's showroom (like 12-14000 steps a day active) so it's not complete rest. Think I might need to add a snack in there though, to slow things down...I'm getting pretty close to my goal...or maybe I need to reassess that goal...hrmmmm.
7/28 - 153.4 - The back of my brain was thinking this 153 thing was a fluke...but apparently not! Got my "better than nothing" work out in yesterday on top of my 16000 steps. Editing to add....I bought a new top yesterday...SIZE SMALL!!! Non scale victory!!!
7/29 - 152.5 - on my mom's scale- Not sure this would be the same on my scale but WOWzers. Yesterday was crazy...and honestly I ate way less than I should have. I'm up in Cottage country staying with my parents and cousin's family visiting for the next 10 days...so this gives me a bit of a buffer for not having complete control over the menu and wanting to indulge a bit on my week off. This also pretty much gets me to the 30lb lost mark since I started in March. Pretty pleased to say the least !!
7/30 - 152.5 - held steady even with some cocktails on the dock and a huge surf 'n turf dinner last night. No regrets !!!
7/31 - 155.5 - Bleh!! Had lunch out so this is a sodium and beer issue lol...along with TOM due to arrive tomorrow or the next day. I'm still extremely happy with where I go to this past week. I'm just going to work on maintaining while I'm not home and then get back at the real work to get those last few lbs off to reach my goal by the end of Aug.
See you all on the next round's thread!!

R9 SW 197.8
R10 SW 198.9
R11 SW 196.7
Goal for R11 = under 195.0
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22 - 197.3 Up today. As long as the trend is down I can handle the fluctuation. Hello Weekend!
7/23 - 196.9 Busy day yesterday, outdoor work, also a few good workouts, including C25K W3 D3. Pizza for dinner, but still under calories overall for the day.
7/24 - 196.4 30.0 pounds down in 29 weeks. Happy dance!
7/25 - 196.4 okie dokie. Started on a big old spiral sliced ham last night so I am upping my sodium. Better keep sweating. Day 1 of C25K Week 4
7/26 - 194.7 It feels like the numbers 4 and 7 are transposed. I double checked my eyes. I expect to go up the next few days as I usually do when whoosh happens. But I have eaten lightly the last few days - it's been so darn hot and I have no ice cream in the house to cool me off. A few days of poor appetite won't hurt me.
7/27 - 195.5 Yep, here it is - whoosh then bounce. So yesterday I missed my 10K steps by ~500. I was racing the clock up to midnight, walking the dog very late. I thought I might get it in. So hot and humid. At 11:00 the temp was 83 but felt like 90. Had to get my C25K W4 D2 in this morning. Indulging today in a going away party for a really great boss. May regret it tomorrow.
7/28 - 196.0 Not a big deal. My weight always goes down and up down and up. But I'm still targeting under 195 this round.
7/29 missed checking in but weight was 196.4
7/30 missed checking in but weight was 197.5
7/31 196.9 I had a bit of life out of control the last couple days. It's all OK.
See you in round 12!

SW: 210
CW: 193
GW for this round: 190
GW: 150
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22 193
7/23 192.8
7/24 194.4. Too many carbs yesterday and not enough water!
7/25 192.8 woohoo! Lost some of that water weight from the other day! I'm really trying to stick to it even when I see fluctuations on the scale!
7/26 192.6 Not sure I'll make it to my goal this round but as long as the scale keeps going down I'm good!
7/27 192.2 woohoo! I didn't drink enough water yesterday and I had too much sodium but I DID take the kiddos swimming so I tried to get a mini workout in while playing in the pool! My legs are sore today. So out of shape. Lol!
7/28 193 Does anyone else have trouble losing weight while it's that time of the month?! I usually gain a little water weight right before..but omg I still feel so bloated and I'm on day 3!
7/29 191.2. This is a whoosh for me! Yay!! I felt "lighter" this morning but didn't expect to see this number. Water weight can totally mask any loss..I'm proud of myself for sticking with it even when the scale isn't my friend.
7/30 190.6. Now THAT'S more like it!! Still don't think I'll reach my goal for this round but I'm close!
7/31 189.8. Umm WHAT?! My jaw about hit the floor when I got on the scale this morning! I hit my goal for this round even though at the beginning it wasn't looking promising. That proves..just stick with it and the weight WILL come off!
This was my first round and I really loved reading about everyone's triumphs and struggles..it definitely kept me motivated to keep at it!
